Cheltenham Betting Competition

[Matt]

Balls. Result for the bookies there.

[Matt]

When I put Toutantcarmont down earlier it was about 12, SP looks as though it'll be 5. So all the value in that has gone

[Matt]

I'm doing brilliantly at picking the horses that fall a shit day for all 3 of us it seems.

[Matt]

Another faller. Fucking hell. My pick in the last is a non runner too

Another blank for the three of us.

[Thrilla]

1st 25/1 Qualando 2nd 14/1 Bouvreuil 3rd 33/1 The Saint James

A tricast on that and you'd be laughing.

[Matt]

11 grand apparently.

[DavidMarrio]

Shite day for me today. I had a lucky 63 on but forgot to set it as each way.

I had Zabana at 28/1 and Any Currency at 7/1 in that lucky63 as well

Spent: £15

Won: £1.18

Made: -£13.82

So after two days I'm sitting at a profit of £213.75

Thrilla wins! 9/2 at 5 e/w lands him 38.12. And I've just noticed that I misread Colly's post and he actually got a 13/2 place in the 2.05. Which if my maths is correct returned him 26.25. I'm taking the 4th as a place because I've yet to see any evidence of anywhere that didn't pay 4 places.

So at the end of today, I banked £75, Thrilla banked 38.12 and Colly got 26.25. Bookies win today.

3.20 - Zarkander - 15 e/w

4.00 - Un Ace - £5 e/w

[METALMAN]

They gambled at the foot of the cross.

[Matt]

Vautour 25

Dawalan 5 e/w

Don Cossack 20

Saphir De Rheu 15

Un Ace 10 e/w

The Ould Lad 5 e/w

Bit more confident about tomorrow but then again it's hard to have a worse day than today, 3 fell, 1 non runner and a joint favourite that didn't turn up.

[Colly]

Apache Stronghold -10 e/w

Call the Cops

Hidden Cyclone

Jetson - 10 e/w

Hunt Ball - 10 e/w

The Package

No Likey (if we're doing the last race? If not stick an extra 5 e/w on Apache)

All 5 e/w unless stated.

[Matt]

Nah we're not doing the charity race

[Thrilla]

13:30 Vautour - £20

14:05 Unique de Cotte - £10 e/w

14:40 Ma Filleule - £5 e/w

15:20 Whisper - £10 e/w

16:00 Un Ace - £10 e/w

16:40 Gold Bullet - £5 e/w

[Matt]

6/4 winner banks Thrilla £50 and myself £62.50. 7/1 e/w place earns Colly £41.25. Immediately today is better for you two and just one more result will be better for me

[Matt]

Colly with a 9/1 winner at 5 e/w nets him 66.25

Thrilla with a 14/1 place at 10 e/w banks him another 45 quid.

[Thrilla]

I'm in danger of breaking even for once!

[Colly]

Fuck sake. I put money on yesterday and got nowt, didn't today. Maybe I should be a tipster.

[Matt]

Thrilla banks 11.25 with a 5/1 place. Nice for McCoy to get a win at his last Cheltenham too.

[Matt]

LCS banks 37.50 with 15 e/w place on a 6-1 shot. Bookies are really making up for a bad first few races on Tuesday
